Résumé
Extended Feature Oriented Domain Analysis (FODA) Feature Diagrams (EFD)
were introduced to compensate for a purported ambiguity and lack of precision and expressiveness of the original FODA feature diagrams (OFD). However, EFD never received a formal semantics, which is the hallmark of precision and unambiguity. We propose here a semantics for both diagrams. From this we demonstrate that OFD are precise, unambiguous, and expressively complete, and thus that all extensions add no expressiveness. A finer notion is thus needed to compare these languages. Two solutions are well-established: succinctness and embeddability, that measures naturalness of a language. This tool shows that EFD indeed bring some naturalness, but are harmfully redundant and that the same naturalness can be attained with the simpler varied FD (VFD). We also show that no ambiguity is present, in fact.
